The latest episode of “Blindspotting” gave millennial fans something they never thought they’d get to see: Dante Basco essentially reprising the role of Rufio, leader of the Lost Boys in Steven Spielberg’s “Hook” — even if it was at a Halloween party.
The installment, titled “By Hook or by Crook,” followed as Jacque (April Absynth) invited her new beau Cuddie (Lance Holloway) to her family’s home in Daly City for a Halloween party. After being incorrectly advised by Trish (Jaylen Barron) into wearing a pirate costume to the event, Jacque freaks out upon arrival and reveals to Cuddie that her father is Dante Basco.
Given the actor’s history with pirates, Cuddie’s costume is understandably barred from the event. Though they try to hide it for a while, Basco eventually discovers the truth; leading to a “Hook”-esque sword fight between the men in Jacque’s life.

Director Patricio Ginelsa returns with yet another food-driven film, “Lumpia with a Vengeance” (2020). Ginelsa first skyrocketed to fame with his Filipino-American home video-made-cult-classic, “Lumpia” (2002). Here, highschoolers fight off bullies with the help of a lumpia (Filipino eggrolls)-wielding superhero. This much-beloved flick ushered in its crowdfunded sequel today, featuring UFC fighter Mark Muñoz and longtime actors like Danny Trejo. “Lumpia with a Vengeance” is now making its festival rounds, winning the Audience Award at the Hawaii International Film Festival and a continental premiere at CAAMFest in April.
